About Monster Hunters
In the California desert a derelict alien prison ship rips through the quiet, letting loose a swarm of creatures that overwhelm the army sent to stop them. The battlefield quickly turns into a brutal scramble as humans fail to contain the breakout. A hidden branch of the government devoted to alien weaponry steps in, bringing experimental gear and hard edged tactics to the crisis. The untested team must improvise under fire while the remaining soldiers fall back. With the fate of Earth on the line and no easy fix in sight, every second counts for a plan that might save humanity or doom it. The look blends practical effects with modest CGI to create claustrophobic desert clashes.
Directed by Brendan Petrizzo and released in 2020, Monster Hunters credit Jeremy M. Inman as creator. The cast includes Tom Sizemore as Colonel Mayweather, with Connie Jo Sechrist and Anthony Jensen in key roles.
Box office data for Monster Hunters is not widely reported, which suggests a limited release and streaming presence rather than a major theatrical run. There are no reliable worldwide gross figures publicly available, and the film's commercial footprint remains unclear. Some viewers encountered it on specialty platforms or festival screenings, but broad distribution and revenue figures have not been publicly disclosed.
As a niche science fiction horror from a smaller production, Monster Hunters has not sparked a wide cultural ripple. It has no widely cited quotes or iconic scenes, and conversations tend to stay among dedicated genre fans rather than spilling into mainstream discourse.
Audience reception appears modest with a 6.3 out of 10 average from about 180 votes on the available platform. The film foregrounds a secret government unit created to weaponize alien tech, and it probes questions about secrecy and power while showing the harsh realities of desert warfare against relentless extraterrestrials.
